absent averaged challenges days eight kids learned main school students summer worked
The students averaged about eight days absent each. That's a lot and it's one of the main challenges of summer school programming. If the kids don't come, they can't learn. However, for the kids that were there, I think it worked out great. They learned a lot.
effective encouraged finding found further giving greater groups harmful meaning memory might pilot regularly retention teaching test whether worth
We wanted to test whether quizzes encouraged greater memory retention over review. We found that the groups had no statistical differences, meaning that quizzes were not a harmful activity. That's an interesting finding for this pilot study. It suggests that the idea of giving quizzes regularly is worth further exploration and that quizzes might be better used as an effective teaching tool.
